Cocoa Drop Cookies

Easy-peasy cookies, no baking! This recipe is for my sister, who was looking for something quick that doesn’t use eggs. Instead of emailing it to her, I’ll post it here, for anybody else who wants this classic favorite.

I always called them “Clinton’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies”… and you’ll fine the recipe on page 85 of the cookbook I gave you last year… it first came into our family when your Uncle Clinton was about nine years old. He’d spent the night with a friends whose mother made them, and when he asked her for the recipe, she wrote it out for him and he brought it home to your Nanny (who wasn’t your Nanny then since your dad was just a little boy who didn’t even have gleams in his eye yet, lol)… it’s a tad different… his original recipe calls for 4 tablespoons of cocoa instead of 3… but they’ve been a family favorite ever since way back then… and are still my favorite… I can eat a whole batch all by myself…
